Fine for a dirty number plate?
Discussion
My plates are filthy. My whole car is minging. As in, I get dirty legs just getting in and out, and I can barely see out of the back. Seriously, my number plates are that dirty, a whole family is going to die this afternoon. It's a bolt-on certainty.
If anyone wants to go clean them for me, it's parked at Chelmsford P+R, third row, last 3 letters of the numberplate are JJV. (If you could replace the front tyres and the windscreen as well, I'd appreciate it. It's for safety after all.)

Tragic story although it gets more embellished the more you expand on it.
Hasn't changed a bit. But as I'm dealing with a simpleton, I anticipated that comprehension might be beyond your abilities.don'tbesilly said:
So the plate was blacked out you say, not dirty.
Blacked out is just another term for dirty in this case. I could also have used obscured, filthy, minging, manky, mucky etc etc...don'tbesilly said:
The driver was clearly a scrote of the highest order to always drive around with an indistinguishable number plate.
Yes, yes he was. Or she. Nobody knows.don'tbesilly said:
It doesn't ring true does it?
Only because your desperately looking for something that isn't there.Looks like you'll be going on the ignore list along with cmoose.
Lets tell it how it really is:
Lucrelout loses a good friend in a hit and run, tragic story.
Lucrelout who espouses morals, ethics and all things righteous in the world, goes on to concoct a story around the tragic death of a good friend which supports his view that all people should do as he does and agree with his supercilious and pompous views.
You're probably a desk clerk who lives 9-5 in a basement doing spreadsheets.
Your day is interspersed with discussions with your other no hope colleague, the discussions are generally about 'managed' road networks and how the changing speedlimits brighten up your tedious drive into work.
Your other no hope colleague enjoys these discussions as it breaks up the monotony of doing more spreadsheets to justify the ones you produce.
Lunch breaks the humdrum of your day when you view porn and visit the toilet to knock one out furiously before you have to 'clock' back in.
Your lunch time relief is the only real relief you get as you are socially inept, and your last girlfriend got fed up with you cleaning other peoples numberplates.
Put me on your ignore list, you can then tell your colleague how you have just won your latest interwebz battle, and you can then both plan your latest numberplate cleaning frenzy in the company car park.
You sad little loser.
Trading insults is easy

How tiresome, as usual the protagonist losing the argument resorts to insults, standard fodder on a forum.
If you don't like it then feel free to stop doing it whenever you like.don'tbesilly said:

I'm going to have to stop you there. Hands up anyone who thinks I espouse morals, ethics, or righteousness. Anyone? Anyone at all? Nope. You'll really struggle to find anyone agreeing with you on that.don'tbesilly said:

Marginally more senior than that, none spreadsheet related, but yes, I am a desk jockey. I'm armed with a mouse, keyboard.... Everything. 9-5 is for public sector deadwood, we work proper hours here in my 17th floor basement.The rest of your mental period I just deleted. I'd have printed it out, but I've already had a s
t today.So where does all that leave us? Well, I'm still going to shine up dirty plates, and you'll still vent your impotent rage here about that, mostly because you had thought yourself clever using a dirty plate to hide from speed cameras.
I don't care if you speed. I do too. It isn't dangerous. But you do need to be man enough to take your points when they come. Your estrogenic wailing about it sort of gives the game away that your observation and reactions are slow and you'd get caught a lot if you were identifiable. Maybe learn to drive? Take a bus?

Agreed. In fact a police office once told me that it is an offence to even touch a car not belonging to you, unless you have the owner's permission, or you are tasked with carrying out some work on the car. That sounds very strict indeed, but it is what I was told.p1esk said:

I'd be interested to know if this was true or not. It's actually quite hard not to touch other peoples cars when you're in a car park, especially when you're trying to ensure that your door doesn't bang on their car. Also what about cars parked on the pavement when you have to squeeze past? Devil2575 said:

Your last sentence is interesting. Members of the public have no right to interfere with someone else's property and therefore shouldn't be surprised if someone smacks them in the teeth if they do.
I note the complete avoidance of my questions regarding whether these wipers extend their cleaning regime to lights and glass. Surely they would, given that these are directly related to road safety.
So you're the kind of person who smacks people in the teeth for touching his car?I note the complete avoidance of my questions regarding whether these wipers extend their cleaning regime to lights and glass. Surely they would, given that these are directly related to road safety.
I wouldn't go as far was wiping a number plate, but if I saw the driver i'd point it out. I'd do the same if I saw an idiot driving with dirty lights too.
I'd have no objection to you pointing out anything to me, as long as you didn't object to a range of non-violent responses, ranging from acting on your warning/advice to ignoring you or telling you to myofb. Sound fair to you?

I can't comment on the legalities of touching a car belonging to another, although I think P1esk is suggesting that touching would involve a tad more than just walking past and brushing the car inadvertently, or accidentally banging ones door against another vehicle.
As for cleaning a number plate on another owners car without permission, well only a total plank would do such a thing, to go onto admit such a thing on a public forum beggars belief, frankly.
Like quite a few stories on here it doesn't/didn't happen, but people like to cast themselves in a different light to there real persona's, and sets them apart as being quite 'special'.

I think it's pretty obvious any legislation would not extend to brushing past a car in a crowded car park.
I agree with you about the total plank bit.

What about knowingly squeezing past a car blocking the path?

I'm simply seeking to clarify whether touching a car as opposed to damaging it is against the law.

Yes, special is one of the words I'd use to describe you.Which part is it you're pretending didn't happen?
The part where my friend is hit by the car, that you weren't there for?
The part where he died in hospital, that you weren't there for?
The funeral that you didn't attend?
Or the cleaning up the odd number plate where its obvious from the 3/4s of the car that are shinny, what the d
head driving it is trying to do? I realise you probably spent months or years building up the dirt, but why is it so hard to believe someone would spare a few seconds fixing it for you?
If I'm supposed to be frightened of your reaction you'll need to be clearer, it's not sinking in. You're Nigel from accounts remember, not Jason Bourne. The worst you'll do is swear a bit and get shouty; you know it, I know it.
